Our Verdict
The most interesting part of this card is the $200 statement credit when you spend $6,000. If you spend exactly $6,000 that works out to be an additional 3.33% cash back. The terms are a bit strange as it states it’s a $200 statement credit but then the foot note states that points are not redeemable for cash. It seems that’s just talking about the points earned from general spend and not the $200 statement credit benefit directly.
I can’t see that $200 benefit lasting too many years if I’m being completely honest, but even if you get one year that’s $300 in bonuses. Because of that I’ll be adding this to the list of the best credit card sign up bonuses.
